MAINTENANCE & REPAIR INSTRUCTIONS
REPLACING THE SPARK PLUG
Use a Champion RDJ7J or a replacement part #753-06193 spark plug (or
equivalent).
1. Stop the engine and allow it to cool. Grasp the plug boot firmly and pull
it from the spark plug.
2. Clean around the spark plug. Remove the spark plug from the cylinder
head by turning a 5/8-inch socket counterclockwise.
WARNING:
Do not sand blast, scrape or clean spark plug
electrodes. Grit in the engine could damage the cylinder.
3. Replace a cracked, fouled or
dirty spark plug. Set the air
gap at 0.025 in. (0.635 mm)
using a feeler gauge (Fig. 18).
4. Install a correctly-gapped
spark plug in the cylinder
head. Tighten by turning the
5/8-inch socket clockwise
until snug. If using a torque
wrench, torque to:
110-120 in.•lb. (12.3-13.5
N•m). Do not over-tighten.
5. Reattach the plug boot.
CLEANING
Use a small brush to clean off the outside of the unit. Do not use strong
detergents. Household cleaners that contain aromatic oils such as pine and
lemon, and solvents such as kerosene, can damage plastic housing or handle.
Wipe off any moisture with a soft cloth.
STORAGE
• Never store a fueled unit where fumes may reach an open flame or spark.
• Allow the engine to cool before storing.
• Store the unit locked up to prevent unauthorized use or damage.
• Store the unit in a dry, well-ventilated area.
• Store the unit out of the reach of children.
LONG TERM STORAGE
If planning on storing the unit for an extended time, use the following storage
procedure:
1. Removing the fuel cap, tip the unit and drain the fuel into an approved
container.
NOTE: Do not use gas that has been stored for more than 30 days.
Dispose of the old gasoline in accordance to federal, state and
local regulations.
2. Start the engine and allow it to run until it stalls. This ensures that all
fuel has been drained from the carburetor.
3. Allow the engine to cool. Remove the spark plug and put 5 drops of
high quality motor oil into the cylinder. Pull the starter rope slowly to
distribute the oil. Reinstall the spark plug.
NOTE: Remove the spark plug and drain all of the oil from the cylinder before
attempting to start the trimmer after storage.
4. Thoroughly clean the unit and inspect it for any loose or damaged
parts. Repair or replace damaged parts and tighten loose screws, nuts
or bolts. The unit is ready for storage.
